Question to the knowledgeable and the experienced about the PG Fall Academic showcase in October. My 2020 SS/MIF is targeting high academic D1s. Has generated some interest from Ivy/Patriot schools via Headfirst and Showball. Most of these schools do not offer camps in October-January - except a few. He wants to get some meaningful exposure this Fall. he will be at the PG Underclass WWBA in Fort Myers, but the chances of a MIF getting noticed there is uneven. My other 2017 was a pitcher and I feel that pitchers usually get the more closer looks at such major tourney type events. For 2017 we did not do the PG Fall Academic showcases as they conflicted with his Fall baseball wiht travel team. We are considering is this time though for my 2020 as he is a MIF who pitches. What is the general feedback on the PG Fall Acedemic? Do the Ivy/Patriots and other similar high academics (Hopkins, Tufts, Davidson, Fordham, etc) attend? Is there an advantage to doing this - considering the cost versus exposure - as opposed to doing maybe other things - like another Showball/Headfirst in November? Thanks as always for the unvarnished feedback. The grind has begun.
